Meet my doctor, the GOAT! Dr. Tamara at Restoration Healthcare has changed my life and my gratitude for her can’t be contained in words… only expressed through tears.
I made the trek down to Irvine for my 8 AM appt today. I parked my car in the spot I used to park in when I had to be there 2x week for 4 hour air drips. As I walked up the stairs from the parking lot to the office, I gave thanks. I remember walking up those stairs with little to no strength, mad at the world and my circumstances.
Today I walked up with strength.
I sat next to Dr. Tamara for one hour as she asked me questions about how I am and then reviewed my most recent labs with me. She also asked what I’m working on in talk therapy because she knows that matters and impacts my physical health. A doctor who cares hits differently. She is always learning and always sharing something new with me. She geeks out like I geek out. We were made for one another.
Her goal is to get her every client to become their own doctor. She said that when she is done with me, I will know what I need whenever I’m not feeling well and I’ll only need doctors for the routine screenings.
Her goal is to get me to a place where I can be present in every moment of every day, and enjoy every one too.
I share often that my wellness budget is $2500/month. Recently a family member told me that they wish they could afford that. The truth is that when I was at my most sick, I was making $3k a month. Rent was $2350 and healthcare is $726.16. That’s before every other line item of my life.
I believed I was worthy of proper care and that the world would conspire with me to see to it that I’m well. I knew it was mind over everything. And here I sit now, almost all the way well.
We are estimating a full recovery from mold by next spring. And you better believe imma have the party of a lifetime when I arrive.
Love you all! But not more than I love me! 💛
